Pros

Good salary, staff is friendly and overall not a bad place to work. Culture is odd, very little cooperation, Lots of new technology, fast changing tech environment.

Cons

Limited career path; top heavy management structure; management is a bunch of "know-it-alls"; there is zero benefit in speaking up to contribute to making things better. Ideas of staff are not valued - management thinks they have all the answers.

Pros

Excellent individual contributors and dedicated frontline teams who support one another through an incredibly difficult corporate culture.

Cons

Leadership within the Technology and Security organization operates entirely on fear, micromanagement, and self-preservation. Transparently reporting organizational risks or highlighting operational gaps is treated as a personal threat by management rather than a professional duty. The leadership style relies on moving goalposts, extreme gatekeeping (like exhausting daily interrogation-style briefing traps), and intentionally vague performance feedback so success can never actually be achieved. Top-performing professionals are systematically targeted, isolated, and managed out through fabricated performance issues to protect executive reputations. Furthermore, the HR department is completely toothless. Detailed, explicit exit interviews outlining this exact abusive behavior and naming impacted employees are met with empty empathy but zero corrective action. HR routinely chooses to protect toxic executives over maintaining basic workplace ethics. Since the corporate takeover, the culture has entirely shifted from psychological safety to compliance through fear, causing widespread burnout, anxiety, and a mad dash for the exits by top talent. If you are considering a job here, do yourself a favor and reach out to former employees on LinkedIn, and hear about it directly.
